So, are Rihanna and Lewis Hamilton dating? The F1 champ was asked about his rumoured relationship with Rihanna recently - and he gave a kind of vague response.
The pair have been spotted together all summer, from dining out together in NYC to hanging at Crop Over festival in Barbados. But speaking to E! News, Lewis said: "You know, I've known Ri for a long time... We've been friends for a while. We get to hang out every now and again..."
Way to be a bit sketchy on the details, Lewis! If the rumours aren't true, we're sure Rihanna will have something to say about it - the star recently gave the perfect response to a sports star who claimed the pair were dating.
Earlier, we wrote...
Well, well, well, this is quite the winning combination. Reports yesterday have claimed that British Formula 1 Racing champion, Mr Lewis Hamilton, 30, has been on a series of ‘secret dates’ with Rihanna, 27.
Sources told The Sun newspaper that the pair – who are said to have fancied each other for years – recently dined at Da Silvano restaurant in New York before moving on to 1 OAK nightclub and ending the night at the pop star’s penthouse apartment.
Lewis – who was recently linked to both Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid – is now said to be ‘infatuated’ with Rihanna, having finally called time on his seven year on-off romance with Nicole Scherzinger in February.
Indeed in 2013, Lewis’ partying with Rihanna at a Monaco casino was said to have upset the former Pussycat Doll, even though she was ‘off’ with Lewis at the time. In 2011, Rihanna was also spotted with Lewis when she attended the Canadian Grand Prix. The pair reportedly reconnected at the Met Gala in New York in May, when Lewis was spotted sitting with Rihanna at her after-party.
In June,* Grazi*a reported how Rihanna had been on a number of dates with Real Madrid footballer, Karim Benzema, 27, although it was not believed to be serious.
Is it too early to be speculating on a moniker for this A-list power house of a potential pairing? Rihannalton? Lewhanna? Hmmm, not so catchy eh? Stay tuned for more news on these two as and when it breaks….
